  1. Stop feeding the machine! ✊

    Big AI profits from token bloat & subscription traps, hiding real utility behind opaque paywalls. Privacy shouldn't be a luxury you trade for convenience.

    I’m fighting back with Searchbase v1.0.0: a sovereign, self-hosted search layer for LLMs. No ads, no tracking, just clean Markdown to stop token waste & reclaim autonomy. Open source & privacy-first, forever. 🏴‍☠️

    Deploy it now: searchbase.md

    Rappel que Delta Chat c'est non seulement aussi bien que Signal ou autres, mais en plus c'est tellement bien pensé pour la décentralisation que si un relais tombe, on peut en prévention lister deux, trois autres relais de secours et le message sera quand même délivré !

  8. Did anyone else also notice that
    "MORE AND MORE YOUTUBE VIDEO TITLES ARE SHOUTING!!!" and heavily overloaded with emojis?

    I guess it means "I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!" - yet in the end it yells:
    "SEE ME! HEAR ME! ACKNOWLEDGE ME! please!"

    Usually, "#IRL" this means we change the bar/place.

    Maybe this "one room" is too crowded?

  22. Another #Goosestep toward full-on #authoritarianism !

    This Bill Would Fine Social Media Companies $5 Million Every Day for Not Fighting '#Terrorism'

    The #StopHateAct wants social media platforms to report their #moderation policies and outcomes to the government. And it’s not the only #censorial measure Rep. #JoshGottheimer wants.

    Matthew Petti | 7.24.2025 5:25 PM

    "The idea that the federal government even talked to social media platforms about their moderation was a major scandal. After the Twitter Files leak revealed that the Biden administration was privately leaning on one platform to suppress "misinformation," the courts blocked officials from communicating with social media companies for several months on free speech grounds.

    "A bipartisan bill, however, would make it mandatory for social media companies to work with the federal government. The Stopping Terrorists Online Presence and Holding Accountable Tech Entities (STOP HATE) Act would require companies to provide triennial reports on their moderation policies—and violations they catch—to the U.S. attorney general.

    "The bill requires companies to issue specific policies for groups the federal government designates as terrorists and the director of national intelligence to also begin reporting on terrorist usage of social media. Companies would be fined $5 million per day that they fail to comply.

    "Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D–N.J.) and Don Bacon (R–Neb.) had first proposed the bill in November 2023. It died in committee at the time. Gottheimer and Bacon announced that they would be reintroducing the bill at a press conference on Wednesday alongside Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.

    " 'There is no reason why anyone, especially terrorists or anyone online, should access social media platforms to promote radical, hate-filled violence,' Gottheimer said at the press conference. He cited supportive social media comments about the May 2025 murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, and the AI platform Grok's sudden decision to declare itself 'MechaHitler' earlier this month.

    "#Meta, the company that runs #Facebook and #Instagram, is already known to have a list of 'dangerous individuals and organizations' banned from the platform. When the list was leaked to The Intercept in 2021, it included around 1,000 entries taken straight from the U.S. government's foreign terrorist list, as well as various foreign and domestic entries sourced to private think tanks."

  23. ## Making Better Use of Space

    ### Moving that old white elephant in the room.

    There's been a lot of talk lately, and speculation, about the #Fediverse. Yet for the most part, only with respect to a single brand of server platform.

    What I find particularly odd about that, is it's a rather lackluster server platform (especially considering the hefty system requirements) with an extremely limited feature list. Mastodon servers have a hard coded default character count limit per post of only 500 characters - more than Twitter, but not often enough to get a complete thought out with a link to somewhere else, or engage in a conversational thread, and certainly nowhere near what you need to post a news article, holiday recipe, tutorial, HowTo, or movie review.

    As if a paltry 500 character limit isn't bad enough for this resource hog, virtually every other Fediverse platform provides for sensible , and configurable message lengths with common defaults of 2000, 5000, or more; most support #Markdown, and other ubiquitous text formats like #LaTex or #HTML, and some even have built in #WYSIWYG editors - like #WordPress, #Hubzilla, and #Drupal, with big players like #Imgur and #Tumblr already looking forward to their official Fediverse launches soon.

    When those latter two giants arrive on the scene, the world of social networking will truly be interconnected, having achieved critical mass. It will be a revolution, a juggernaut toppling the deprecated, legacy monolithic silos that have so insidiously subverted and subjugated the masses like chattel. But I digress.

    Other Fediverse platforms have offered the ability for people to edit their own posts for a long time, some for years, yet mastodon enabled this capability less than a month ago. It lags behind most other Fediverse platforms in several other ways too - groups, marketplaces, federated chat, and several other often requested functions are all but ignored by that platforms' developer while other Fediverse servers enjoy active and ambitious development cycles with new feature releases.

    So considering it is so lacking in basic functionality compared to the other more prominent contemporaries, I've assembled a curated list below where you can evaluate and testdrive others for yourself. I've included links to some of the most darling up and coming projects like #Foundkey and #Quanta, that scale to thousands of users, and if you truly want an even smaller, minimalist Fediverse platform I've included #MicroBlogPub too. There's a couple of web tools including databases so you can search for even more platforms, instances, and compare statistics.

    Choosing from the list below, you can join existing instances, self-host your own, or even have a professional #hosting_provider do it for you - simply pick a #turnkey provider where in just a couple of clicks your new fully managed Fediverse server will be online in only a minute or two!

    There are literally free and privacy respecting Fediverse platforms to replace everything from #Faceplant, #Twatter, #Reddit, #YouTube, #twitch, #InstaSPAM, #Spotify, #Quora and so very much more!

    And most are so light on system resources that you can run then on an old laptop or #Raspberry_Pi in your home.

    Without further adieu, here's a list of [some of] the most prominent Fediverse server platforms in operation.

  26. 💡 The last Wednesday of March can only mean one thing...

    #DocumentFreedomDay ✍️

    Today we celebrate open standards: The ability for everyone to work and communicate using free software.

    If you're using paid software that confines you see if any of the alternatives on my list of #opensource software can make life easier for you:

  27. Big Tech isn’t the web. It’s an empire.

    • Built on surveillance capitalism. Your data = their profit

    • Algorithms engineered to manipulate, addict, polarize

    • Walled gardens with lock-in, enshittification as business model

    • Governed by US laws + politics (DMCA, Patriot Act, MAGA culture)

    • Controlled by a handful of tech billionaires in a digital aristocracy

    When you choose Big Tech, you choose profit over people, control over freedom, censorship over community.

    Free, open, decentralized alternatives break that cycle:

    - No ads, no tracking, no dark patterns
    - Community-driven, transparent, auditable
    - Not bound to one country’s laws or corporate agenda

    Decentralization is digital self-determination.

    Choose people over platforms. Choose freedom. 💪

  28. @alextecplayz @captainrob I’m a massive #pessimist that #TechRegulation will happen anytime soon. In the meantime, we need to #federate and #decentralize as much as possible

    starve them of their MAUs. Do not allow them to continue to #DrinkYourMilkshake

    It’s the only way to bring them to the table to negotiate regulation

  29. I'm decentralizing my #social #media.

    Email/Calendar: #Proton.me
    Browser/Search Engine: #DuckDuckGo
    Social Media: #BlueSky & #Mastadon ( #Pixelfed)
    TikTok Replacement: #Xiaohongshu
    #Spotify Replacement: #SoundCloud

    Now to further #decentralize my technology & #media from corrupt/lobbying entities, I need to get #GooglePhotos / #GSuite out of the mix.

    Any #suggestions?

  30. Question: what are the chances that #science #communication & #information systems will be impacted by the current administration? Can the #technology that #Bluesky is based off be used to create more #distributed versions of #Wikipedia, #Archive, etc? Can & how do we #decentralize #accademia?

  31. Goodbye @LaQuadrature !

    10 years after co-founding La Quadrature du Net, 4 years after leaving full-time coordination and representation to progressively take distance, I quit the organization today by resigning from my membership.

  32. So there is a Martin Luther King Day but no Ella Baker Day. Remembering her is a reminder that history often celebrates voices and forgets the hands that made change possible. She didn’t just fight racism, she fought the patriarchy within the movement. Ella Baker believed leadership should come from the people not just one figurehead

  33. Floating gardens, #CleanEnergy, and #CommunityFirst: Why '#solarpunk' #architecture gives us #ClimateOptimism

    Dec 12, 2025

    "Imagine floating towers teeming with lush greenery that look out over clean waterways overflowing with wildlife. As you glance down, you realize pedestrians outnumber cars — which fly on renewable energy — and people mill about in community gardens and meeting spaces as plants and solar panels alike drink in sunlight.

    "Welcome to the dream world of a 'solarpunk' city.

    "Solarpunk is derived from #cyberpunk, a genre of speculative fiction that was coined by author #BruceBethke in 1983 with the release of his sci-fi short story of the same name, which follows a group of young #RebelHackers.

    "From there, cyberpunk spawned a slew of futuristic aesthetics, ideals, and stories. But solarpunk — a term which first sprang up online in 2008 — goes a step further than cyberpunk, and its fantastical subgenre steampunk, by encapsulating not just a style or genre, but an entire #SocialMovement.

    "#JaySpringett is the co-administrator of solarpunks.net, a website that curates articles, stories, and artwork that are representative of the movement. Spend a minute scrolling on the site and common themes will emerge: #rewilding efforts, #gardening methods, #rainwater harvesting, #VisibleMending practices, and so much more. [Hey, that sounds a lot like what we cover on #SolarPunkSundays!]

    " 'I have always considered solarpunk to be focused on the practical as opposed to the wishful thinking,' Springett told Built In, a Chicago software company. 'And it’s a discussion that’s becoming more and more prominent.' "

  34. Corporate social media broke the internet 😭

    @taylorlorenz.bsky.social and @chaykak.bsky.social perfectly capture how algorithmic feeds and corporate surveillance have stifled the joy of casual posting. When every post is engineered for engagement, interactions feel performative, and platforms are designed to keep you endlessly scrolling, the internet loses its personal touch. Corporate social media has commodified connection, turned spontaneity into strategy, and reduced authenticity to performance.

    :fedi: But there's a way out: FOSS and the Fediverse. By embracing open-source software and decentralized platforms, you're not just avoiding surveillance—you're reclaiming control. You dictate what happens to your data, curate your own feed, and shape your online experience.

    Envision an internet where you can share a silly thought, a random photo, or a half-baked idea without worrying about it being algorithmically buried or monetized. That's the promise of the Fediverse. It's not a utopia, but it's a significant step forward. :heart_cyber:

  35. @joshuatopolsky Yeah...

    But #Twatter's doin' better now than it has for ages.

    I personally wish him well. It's a much better place now than it ever was since he's taken out the trash and is turning the place around over there.

    Just the sheer amount of #Shadowbanning that was going on (like over at YouTube) is unforgivable.

    It's kinda like when Castro dumped all his prison trash on Miami, we got a lot of those miscreants coming over here - expecting to have their little censorial world replicated here - only to find out that the #Fediverse is actually designed to be censorship resistant in the same way that Elon's trying to remake Twatter... Except it's built into this network from the ground up lolz...

    I see morons over here talking about "de-federating" other instances when there's a few people that they don't like, which is humorous, because they're only de-federating themselves into a corner until their instance is left in the vacuum of space while their users migrate to other (non-mastodon) servers and everywhere else people are still communicating with each other.

    Now that... Is funny. It just doesn't work that way here #twitugees lolz. Many if those morons have already gone back to Twatter, and realized there just going to have to learn to get skinny with other humans or turn off their phones and computers - either way, they certainly won't be missed.

    Here's a good list to select from when those native, once subjugated people figure out how #federation works and they outgrow the meager feature set of mastodon.

    Feel free to pass this [short] list around to help them out :

  37. Disappointing to see people I respect "take the party" from Twitter to another centralized, for-profit service funded by a right-winger. The power of FOMO is profound.

  38. Il diavolo vive nel tuo smartphone📱😈

    I social commerciali vendono l'infanzia dei nostri figli al miglior offerente. È ora di smetterla di essere il prodotto.

    Esiste una via d'uscita: il Fediverso. Uno spazio libero, decentralizzato e umano. Pronti a evadere dalla gabbia digitale? ⛓️✨

  43. Please sign Bandcamp Union's petition to theiur new owner Songtradr.
    Songtradr must ecognize and negotiate with Bandcamp United immediately.

    Personally i hope, that laid-off staff joins working with decentralized federating software, such as Funkwhale, in order to make their ideas future foolproof for creators and listeners alike, saving both from data hording and investor risks for good then.
